How Can You Essential Oils On Your Wedding Day?
The easiest way to use these wedding blends is in an essential oil diffuser (this one is so dreamy for weddings with a glass bowl on top of a white wood base). You can place it in areas like the guest book table or wedding favor table for a lovely welcome or thank you to your friends and family.
Another option for areas without an electric outlet is DIY reed diffusers. You can top every table at your reception with one or place one at the end of every row of seats for the ceremony.
Oh, and speaking of wedding favors – you can even send a token of your appreciation home with your wedding scent on a terracotta clay diffuser stone!
